"What do you think?" In the huge hall, except for the old lady Qin who was at the top, only Zhao Xuan sat at the bottom.

On the closed doors and windows, you can occasionally see the figures of the subordinates standing outside with their hands hanging down from the carved lattice, all of them are the henchmen of Old Madam Qin, and the water guarding the entire hall is blocked.

is so cautious that even Zhao Xuan's wife Ji can't participate, which shows the urgency of the matter.

Therefore, although there were two Bingjian in the room, it was the end of autumn at this time, and there was still sweat on Zhao Xuan's forehead from time to time.

He stared for a long time before he said: "It is widely known that the old lady of the Sheng family gave up his rich life in fine clothes and food when he was young and resolutely joined the army. After General Zhou was given to die, although he was not the most trusted subordinate of General Zhou during his lifetime, he was one of the subordinates who reacted most fiercely! Therefore, he should not be prone to a drastic change of heart. ”

"After all, everyone knows that Sheng Xinzhang is the favorite heir of Old Lady Sheng. This son is safe and smooth, and no matter how much other children make a fuss, it won't really stimulate the old lady. ”

After saying such a thing in one breath, Zhao Xuan came to the conclusion, "It is because of what he came to tell his mother a few days ago, there should really be no calculations and selfishness, and it is all for the sake of the interests of the family and the country." ”

Old Madam Qin let out a "hmm" and said, "Then what he said, do you want to agree?"

"Mother, do you think the eldest brother should make up his mind about this matter?" Zhao Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, Northern Xinjiang is far away from Chang'an, and now it is on fire, whether the eldest brother has the spare time to take care of Western Xinjiang, I am afraid that only the eldest brother himself knows." Let's make up our minds here and tell him that if he can't do it, he will do his best, this ......"

"You only think that Shi'er is far away in the western Xinjiang, why don't you think that Chang'an is also far away for Shi'er?" Old Madam Qin sighed when she heard this, and said, "Since ancient times, famous generals have rarely had a good death, and some people always think that it is because the generals fought on the battlefield and killed too many people to hurt the heavens and peace, so they suffered this retribution." However, I said that such remarks are all nonsense! Don't you see that in all dynasties and dynasties, the founding kings of the country, there are a few people who have shed blood and drifted in the world without killing, and no one dares to stop them, so they can sit on the great throne? Otherwise, in the troubled times, morality does not exist, and it is difficult to rely on courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame to influence sentient beings!

"So if it is too much killing, it hurts the peace of heaven and the world, which leads to the tragedy of famous generals, how can the founding king be able to open the country and build a generation of dynasties?!"

"In the final analysis, it is rare for a famous general to have a good death, and it has nothing to do with what kills too much!"

"In my opinion, it is because of two reasons: one is that the merit is high, and the other is that the famous general has been fighting abroad for many years, far away from the center, which is easy to be taken advantage of by villains, and it is easy to be alienated from the king, speculating on mistakes!"

Old Madam Qin said coldly, "So how can this decision be handed over to Shi'er? Selfless people like the old lady of the Sheng family have always been a minority! I have already regretted the matter of midnight for the three of you, so how can I tell Shi'er to follow the path of General Zhou!"

Zhao Xuan was silent for a moment and said, "Mother, this is different. Not to mention that my brother-in-law has been very guilty about my sister over the years, and naturally I also have love for my eldest brother. Let's just say that the brother-in-law's own temperament is not the kind of meanness and unkindness that is present in the world. Otherwise, you look at the crane after the accident...... If it is today, how can it be possible to live well with my sister today?"

"Do you think that your brother-in-law is willing to spend a good life with Midnight until today, all because he has a conscience?" However, when Old Madam Qin heard this, she looked at him deeply, and said hesitantly, "Then you also underestimate your sister!" Seeing that Zhao Yu was stunned, Old Madam Qin didn't mean to give him a detailed explanation, but said, "Your sister is the one who has taken a fancy to be the queen of the first emperor, how can she naively pin her hopes on her husband's conduct?

He also said, "Since you remember what happened at the beginning, then you should also know that people's hearts are fickle, especially after becoming an emperor, their identities are different, and their thoughts are different!

The old lady's eyes were heavy, "Don't forget, the one in the side hall of Xinshou Palace, although it has not stopped in the past two years...... But she's alive and well!"

"Even if your brother-in-law can forget back then, she will definitely not forget it!"

"That's your brother-in-law's biological mother, if she doesn't die, it will always be possible to remind your brother-in-law to turn over old accounts!"

"......" Zhao Xuan was silent for a while, and said, "That mother's proposal about Old Lady Sheng this time...... But what has already been done?"

Old Madam Qin said, "This is a good opportunity. ”

Zhao Xuan thought that she was going to agree to Mrs. Sheng's proposal in its entirety, and subconsciously said: "It's indeed a good opportunity, and the old lady said so before." But...... Even if the old lady is willing to give up his granddaughter, He'er...... It would be a pity if that child's qualifications were folded in the Western Frontier!"

"The old lady of the Sheng family is a selfless person, and I, a woman, don't have such lofty ambitions as him!" Old Madam Qin sneered when she heard this, shook her head and said, "So how can the opportunity I see be the same as the opportunity he sees?"

The old lady said coldly, "What he sees is an opportunity to cripple Ruru, or even exterminate the clan! But what I see is an opportunity for this court battle that has lasted for decades and has caused our family to be separated physically and mentally exhausted to this day!"

Zhao Yu was stunned and said, "Mother is talking about ......?"

"Prompted Ruru to detour to the western frontier, set up an ambush and snipe, and severely defeated its main force. Old Madam Qin said expressionlessly, "This credit, whether it is Shi'er or He'er, as long as you can get it, I'm afraid you won't be able to overwhelm the Meng family?"

Zhao Xuan didn't react, and said: "Mother, isn't this still using the strategy of the old lady of the Sheng family, and let the He'er couple be the bait......? If Ru Ruken detoured to the western frontier, he must have been unable to attack the northern frontier for a long time! In this case, even if the Meng clan did not expect to divide his troops to set up an ambush in the western frontier and hold on to the northern frontier, the troops under his command would not suffer much loss!"

However, if Zhao Shi did this, even if the sniper was successful and Ru Ru was defeated, the so-called killing of 10,000 enemies and self-loss of 8,000 would definitely exceed, and it would greatly exceed that of the Meng family.

Wouldn't that be the end of the day?

"Ru Ru detoured to the western frontier, isn't there no inside information?" Old Madam Qin looked at her youngest son with the eyes of a fool, "Meng Jiaqian, the son of Meng Jiaqian, the grandson of Zheng Guogong and the beloved son of the hussar general, is also in the western Xinjiang at the moment, and he can't raise his head because he is suppressed by He'er!

As for the evidence, as long as Zhao Shi can cripple Ruru, what evidence can't be obtained?

Zhao Xuan thought about it for a while, but still hesitated a little: "If this can really be the case, it is naturally the best." It's just that, mother, at most, this move will give the eldest brother the credit, but the lives of the He'er couple are difficult to protect. Especially at this time, the daughter-in-law of the crane daughter-in-law's maiden aunt is also in the western Xinjiang, that is the same powerless female flow as the daughter-in-law of the crane, if you are in danger, not to mention ten deaths, eighty percent is also more auspicious! Originally, because the crane was outcast, it was not very close to our family, but it had always been intimate with the Sheng family, even if the old lady Sheng was the first to suggest giving up on them, once they survived by luck, they might not be able to bear to blame the old lady of the Sheng family, but they would definitely hate us!"

If the sleeping crane and his wife had not survived, "My sister's reaction to the matter of the crane at the beginning has made the child feel frightened when I think about it today! Even mother, haven't you been sleepless for many years, and you can only meet your sister again when the crane returns? Although my sister is still sad that the crane is estranged from her, she can bear it anyway that the crane is in the world. ”

"Once the crane has three long and two short, sister her...... What will she do, the child is really ...... I really can't speculate!"

Old Madam Qin frowned and said, "Where do you want to go? I have said it all, I am not a selfless person like the old lady of the Sheng family! He is willing to be a daughter-in-law of the crane, but I am reluctant to be a crane!"

Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In fact, if the ambush of Ru Ru is successful halfway, it is already a credit, and this move is not impossible to frame Meng Jiaqian and Ru Ru for illicit communication." This will not let the crane couple take risks, it is the best of both worlds. Although it is easy to escape by Ruru's main force, but as Niang said, we can't let the eldest brother follow the old path of General Zhou, the so-called bird is full of bows and hidden rabbits and dead dogs, as long as Ruru is not strong enough to threaten the Central Plains, it is easy to make the Central Plains dare not take it lightly, but it is in line with what the predecessors said, 'born in sorrow and died in peace'. ”

"It's impossible to just ambush halfway, as you said, it's difficult to annihilate Ruru's main force in this way. "I don't want Old Madam Qin to shake her head, and said lightly, "What you said about 'born in sorrow and dying in peace' does not apply to the current situation. ”

She paused, and there was a rare glimpse of Tranquility on her always kind face, "After all, if Ru Ru doesn't have the vitality to be too injured to be able to endanger the Central Plains, even if we come up with evidence of the Meng clan's fornication with Ru Ru, do you think the people of the world will approve of this kind of time, let's go to war with the Meng clan?!"

After all, Meng Boqin has not eaten dry food in northern Xinjiang all these years, even if Meng is beaten into a traitor, many people under his command will inevitably be shaken.

However, after more than 20 years of operation, how can there not even be a group of diehards?

When the time comes, there will be a great enemy Ru Ru eyeing him outside, who will support a civil war at this time?

This is the advantage of having military power in hand, real strength, not as easy to dissipate as fame, status, official position, and title.

Therefore, if you want to completely kill the Meng clan, you must defeat Ruru!

Only Ru Ru has no possibility of entering the Central Plains, even if Zhao Shi's descendants and Ru Ru's main force are not lightly damaged, they can also coerce the name of righteousness, call on the people of the world to clean the monarch's side, eliminate internal traitors, gather the power of the country, and wipe out the foundation that the Meng clan has saved in nearly 30 years!

Zhao Xuan swallowed his saliva: "...... the He'er couple?"

"It's just a crane. Old Madam Qin corrected him calmly, "Why do you think I rejected the hint in Old Madam Sheng's words, that is, he could promise to let Tao Cheng be He'er's side concubine on behalf of Sheng Weiqiao, and treat each other as sisters?!

She said indifferently, "Anyway, this idea was made by the old lady of the Sheng family herself, and it is said that it started with Sheng Weiqiao's own accidental speculation? Otherwise, Sheng Weiqiao's biological parents know the ins and outs, and the first one will not stop with the old lady of the Sheng family!"

Spit out, Old Madam Qin said to Zhao Xuan with a pleasant face, "As for how to let He'er survive alone at that time...... But you have to explain this well in the letter, so that he must be careful!"
