Qin Hanzhen was originally in the warm pavilion like spring, watching the four or five-year-old little cousin of the Su family selling cuteness and joking with his brothers and sisters. Suddenly, she was called to the outside by her lobby brother Qin Jian and assigned an indescribable task, she was stunned for a while before she reacted.

The first thing she said to the bunch of people in the long house was, "It's hard to do this, isn't it?"

There are three difficulties in what Mrs. Zhenxi Hou and Qin Youyi wanted.

First of all, the Marquis of Zhenxi himself refused to show weakness obediently, told him about the aggravation of his old injuries, and asked to return to Beijing to recuperate, so his wife and children wanted to get him back, but they did not use their strength from himself, so they could only find a way from the emperor's side. When things go well, what kind of situation will it be? Maybe the emperor will summon him back to Beijing with grace, and he will insist that he can still persist if he is fine, and then his wife, children, relatives, friends, courtiers and subordinates will also come to persuade him and beg him, but he feels that the steps have been set up, and even if he returns to Beijing, he will not appear weak and old, so he "reluctantly" agrees to come back -- is it hypocritical? Is it that the emperor is now begging him to go home to recuperate?!

Secondly, it doesn't matter if Zhenxihou goes home, Mrs. Zhenxihou wants her eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law to go home with her, and give birth to a son to inherit the incense of the long house as soon as possible, and Qin Youyi and her husband Su Zhongying also have other ideas, and they are also looking forward to the return of their eldest brother and sister-in-law. This is not something that their Su family can decide on their own. It is true that the border is peaceful, but everything is in case, and the Su family army is not just a thousand or hundreds of people, there must be someone to lead it, right? If Zhenxihou wants to leave, someone must stay in the town. If the eldest son of the Marquis of Zhenxi does not stay, who will do it for him? Can that person tell the Su family to rest assured that he will hand over the command of the Su family's army? Even if the imperial court is at ease, the Su family can rest assured? What does the Hou of Zhenxi himself think about this?

In the end, Mrs. Zhenxihou may not know about this, but it is the wish of Qin Youyi and her husband Su Zhongying, that is, to let the latter go out and lead the Su family army after his father and eldest brother have left, garrison Shudi, and take his wife and children to take office together. Not to mention that it is always more difficult to seek an official than to abandon it, the emperor may not obey their wishes, but Su Zhongying has been in Beijing for a long time, and he rarely has the opportunity to contact his family subordinates, and his age and qualifications are not equal to his father and brother. He wanted to take over the duties of his father and brother, but he was afraid that it was just wishful thinking.

Qin Han really knows the temperament of his grandfather Qin Bai, even the official positions of his father Qin Ping and uncle Qin An, Qin Bai does not interfere, and even politely refuses the emperor's promotion to Qin An, he will make an exception to the emperor for the sake of the niece's father-in-law and eldest uncle in the next room?

Qin Hanzhen said to Qin Youyi very frankly: "Auntie, are you asking for too many things? It's better to think about it carefully, which is more important, and pick it out first." We'll talk about the rest later?"

Qin Youyi just heard her say "difficult", and when she was not willing to help, she smiled a little reluctantly: "My father-in-law's old injury has not healed for a long time, and the family is worried about him, and there is no one to inherit the incense in the long room, which is also a pain in my mother-in-law's heart." This is all filial piety, how can I retreat because things are difficult to handle? Third girl, if you ask the third uncle for me, my aunt will never forget your merits. ”

Qin Hanzhen snorted: "I naturally understand that my aunt and uncle are also filial, but things must always be done in the same way, just as rice must be eaten one bite at a time, isn't it? The three things you asked for, if you want to do it together, where is there such a good thing? I won't mention anything else, just ask you, if the Hou of Zhenxi can really go back to Beijing to recuperate, who should replace his old man's position in the southwest? Who will the Su family army be handed over?"

Qin Youyi opened her mouth and wanted to say the eldest uncle, but before the words came out, she reacted. If she wants to get the eldest uncle back to the capital together, Su Jiajun naturally can't hand it over to him to bring, so she can only be her husband. So she said: "If it's just a few months of work, my father-in-law has a confidant deputy general who can do it for him." After that, your uncle will take over, and that's it. ”

"Herein lies the problem. Qin Hanzhen said, "What rank is my uncle? Can he directly take over the position of Zhenxi Hou in the past? The Su family army is a private army? The emperor will also think that the position of leader is only chosen between the Su family's father and son, is it a matter of course?"

Qin Youyi's face changed slightly. Although she doesn't understand the affairs of the army, she has always lived in the courtyard of the deep house, and she is also the daughter of the Houmen in the end, so she doesn't even have this knowledge. Su Zhongying can't be on an equal footing with his father and brother in terms of age and qualifications, and his official rank is even worse by several levels, even if he really goes to Shu, he will only be in a relatively high position in the Su family's army, and it is impossible to be a commander. In this way, if her father-in-law and eldest uncle return to Beijing at the same time, the leadership of the Su family army will inevitably fall to outsiders. Even if it is a henchman of his father-in-law, he can't compare with his own family.

Of course, the Su family army is not a private army, but it has been led by the father and son of Zhenxi Hou for many years, and it has been deeply branded with the Su family, and the Su family has great prestige in the army, so it will be called like this. If the Su family leaves the Su family, even if the new generals need to take some time to get along with the soldiers, the Su family army will eventually get rid of the influence of the Su family. Just like the Qin family army under the command of the old marquis, since the Qin family was rehabilitated, because of the great talent of the Marquis Qin Songzhi, the emperor never let him lead the troops, so that the Qin family army has long disappeared in the long river of time, and only a few old marquis and old generals who are still in high positions still remember some of the past incense and are willing to take care of the children and grandchildren of the old boss when they can. Qin Youyi is the daughter of the Qin family, so naturally she will not fail to understand the truth.

Thinking about it carefully, Zhenxihou has endured old injuries and torture for many years, knowing that there is no big war on the southwest border, and he refuses to return to Beijing to recuperate, so he may not have the consideration of keeping the military power in his hands. Mrs. Zhenxi Hou and Qin Youyi can't figure it out, there must be someone who understands. And the eldest son of Zhenxi Hou wrote home to ask his mother and younger brother to find a way, firstly, Zhenxihou's injury was no longer good to be delayed, and secondly, it was also because he himself did not plan to return to Beijing together, and he did not think that Su Jiajun was really going to fall into the hands of others. wants the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law to return to Beijing to give birth to a grandson, this is Mrs. Zhenxihou's own idea.

Qin Youyi's face gradually turned pale and she was silent. The ladies and grandmothers present didn't know if they also thought of something, but they didn't say anything.

Qin Jian thought for a while and asked Qin Hanzhen: "That...... If we only found a way to transfer Zhenxihou back to Beijing, and my uncle's brother would still be in the same position, then what? This should be much easier, right? In fact, the heirs of the Su family's house were originally a housework between their husband and wife. Even if my uncle is someone's own brother, there's no reason to meddle, right?"

Qin Hanzhen smiled at Qin Jian and said, "According to Brother Lobby, it is indeed much easier to do. But...... When the Marquis of Zhenxi returns to Beijing to recuperate, he must have his son to serve the sick, right? If the younger uncle's brother does not come back, the younger uncle will not be able to leave?"

Qin Jian was stunned.

Qin Hanzhen continued: "Even if Zhenxihou's injuries are healed and there is no major problem, and his old man is concerned about military affairs, urging his youngest son to be released, can the little aunt, who is a daughter-in-law, also leave home?

If the second thing that Qin Youyi asked for could not be fulfilled, the third thing would not have to be spoken. It's very simple. It was because of this that Qin Youyi's face turned pale.

In fact, she didn't know that things were not as easy as she imagined? Summoning her father-in-law and eldest uncle back to Beijing was her mother-in-law's intention, and only this third request was her selfishness. For the sake of selfishness, she knew that things were difficult to do, and she had to go back to her parents' house to open this mouth. But if the third request can't be realized, will she beg her mother's family to make a lot of effort for the Su family?

Qin Hanzhen solemnly persuaded Qin Youyi: "Auntie, let's think clearly, which thing is the most important? ”

Qin Youyi was carefully raised by the Xu family after all, and she was not a fool who would get dizzy for personal gain. She took a deep breath and said in a low voice: "The most important thing is naturally to transfer my father-in-law back to the capital." In any case, his old man's injuries could not be delayed any longer. As long as he can recuperate, everyone next to him can slowly figure it out. ”

Qin Hanzhen said: "Then I'll go back and talk to my grandfather to see if there is any way to let the emperor know about the injury of the Marquis of Zhenxi, and issue an order to summon him back to the capital." ”

Qin Youyi barely squeezed out a smile: "If the Su family army really follows the southwest garrison and changes its guard to Shu, the emperor will definitely summon his father-in-law back to the dynasty to report on his work." At that time, as long as the emperor asks about his father-in-law's injury, it will be natural for him to stay in Beijing. ”

Qin Hanzhen nodded: "Our family also knows a few imperial doctors, and when the time comes, it will be said that Mrs. Zhenxi Hou is privately worried about the old problems of Zhenxi Hou, and she will ask the imperial doctors for good medicine to treat injuries, and spread the news to the emperor's ears." In this way, Zhenxi Hou will not blame his aunt and uncle, let alone complain that our Qin family is meddling, and outsiders will not suspect my grandfather of interfering in the political and military affairs of the court. Zhenxi Hou is an old man, presumably he will not lie and say that he is not injured when the emperor inquires, right?"

Qin Youyi smiled a little more relaxed: "Naturally not, my father-in-law will not do anything to bully the king, and we will persuade him at home." ”

Then it's easy to do. It's not that during the Great War, an old general was sick and wanted to go home to recuperate, and the emperor didn't refuse, he was always very sympathetic to the old ministers.

Qin Hanzhen smiled and pulled Qin Jian up: "Brother Hall, let's go and talk to my grandfather together? ”

Qin Jian agreed: "This is a matter of course." After a while, I sent my third sister back, and I opened my mouth to my third uncle. ”

The matter was settled, but the Xu family, the Yao family, the Min family, and Qin Youyi all looked at Qin Hanzhen a few more times. Qin Jian said that the third sister knew everything, and they thought it was just what he said casually. Unexpectedly, Qin Hanzhen, a little girl who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, really had some knowledge, and she was not just a weak daughter raised in the boudoir, which surprised them.

Qin Hanzhen didn't notice their gaze, she only thought of one thing in her heart: It turned out that the garrison of Shu was going to change guards with the garrison in the southwest? The power of the King of Shu seemed to have really been almost scattered. The emperor spent four or five years working hard to solve the hidden dangers brought by this brother, and he was really patient.
