Yang Yimuro killed herself behind the main gate of the Ding family when the eldest lady of the Ding family returned to the door when she was newly married - when she died, she was two months pregnant!

Her deathbed words were quickly spread by the audience, and for a while, public opinion fell to the Yang family.

"Sister, you're confused!" When things come to this point, the Ding family will definitely lose, unless Ding Qingyan is also allowed to commit suicide to save this game-but how could Old Madam Xue agree? However, the old lady also knew that Yang Yishu died in such a fierce and desperate way in the gate of the Ding family, and with her identity as the maid of the ministry, it was impossible for the Ding family not to give an explanation to the Yang family.

Therefore, the old lady couldn't even entertain her granddaughter and grandson-in-law, and while ordering someone to clean up Yang Yi's body, she took a sedan chair and rushed to Xue Xiang's mansion to find her younger brother for help.

Xue Chang was taken aback when he heard the news, and couldn't help but reproach her again and again, "Since it is a fact that Qingyan has a private relationship with the Yang family, then the identity of the Yang family is not an insult to the lintel of the Ding family, why do you want to stop this matter?!" Now that the Yang family is dead in the Ding family, how can Yiming not be impeached? His position as a Hanlin Scholar will definitely not be kept! ”

"I just thought that the Yang family is all about the sunset, you have cultivated them for so many years, and you turned your head and voted for the queen mother! The daughter of this kind of family, if she doesn't get married, she will lose her dignity? ! ”

Old Madam Xue is also very remorseful now, she knew that Yang Yi's room would come to such a hand, and she would not have forced her son to refuse marriage at the beginning, "Who would have thought that the Yang family was so vicious, and actually took advantage of Qinghong's return to the door to touch their moldy heads like this!" ”

Sighing and asked, "Then is there any way to keep Yiming from being degraded now?" ”

"It's impossible not to leave Beijing! In fact, it would be good for Yiming not to be questioned this time: I know that sister, you have always doted on Qingyan, but he is only a white body after all, and the prosperity of the Ding family depends on Yiming! Xue Chang said with a calm face, originally Xue Chang, like Ding Hanlin, didn't like Ding Qingyan very much, but in the end, he was a junior in the bloodline, and it was difficult to say anything because of Old Madam Xue.

But this time Xue Chang really hates this nephew!

You must know that Hanlin Ding Yiming is not only Xue Chang's nephew, but also his important helper in the court. Guilt is also very important. Now that Ding Hanlin is involved by his nephew, not only will the neutral party be hit, but Xue Chang is even more worried that the Queen Mother's Party and the Queen Party will seize the opportunity of the Ding family's loss to make a big fuss about it, so as to force him to make a choice!

Old Madam Xue noticed Xue Chang's displeasure, and said cautiously: "It's all my fault this time, because I feel sorry for Qingyan, and I actually hurt Yiming...... But, Qingyan is Yiguang's only bone and blood! Even if he wants to give an explanation to the Yang family this time, he can't let him give the Yang family his life, right? The Yang family specially chose the day when Qinghong returned to the door to run to the Ding family to kill himself, and it was clear that he deliberately took his life to pit the Ding family! ”

"It won't be enough." Xue Chang was silent for a moment before saying, "But, marry the Yang family's tablet and go to the Yang family to kowtow to make amends...... These are inevitable. If the situation is not right, it is possible to go to jail. ”

Old Madam Xue listened to the first two things, her brows were already furrowed, and when she heard that Ding Qingyan might still go to prison, she was taken aback: "Go to prison?" ”

"With Yang Yi's room, how can he blend into the crowd of the Ding family to welcome the Qinghong couple back to the door?" Xue Chang sneered, "The Yang family won't let her out, I'm afraid she won't even be able to take a step in the boudoir!" If it was just the intention of the Yang family, they would never choose the good day when the Qinghong couple returned to the door, after all, Qinghong's husband was the son of the King of Xihe! The Yang family has to think about it for Princess Yang, right? It must be...... The meaning of the Queen Mother! ”

"Hiss......" Although Old Madam Xue doesn't pay much attention to political affairs, in the end, it is the old lady, and when it comes to this, she can't figure out the seriousness of the matter, she has lived in vain for so many years, and she can't help but change her expression greatly, "Are you saying that if you don't follow the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother will take advantage of the Yang family's reason to let Qingyan go to prison?" So, isn't it very likely that he will be murdered in prison?! ”

Xue Chang said coldly: "Then sister means that I want to take refuge in the Empress Dowager in exchange for him not to have to go to prison?!" ”

"That's not what I meant." Old Madam Xue was stunned, and suddenly came to her senses, compared to the culprit Ding Qingyan, Xue Chang was the most innocent and the most serious one facing the situation, and hurriedly said, "It's all my fault this time, if I hadn't forced Yiming to die and didn't allow him to hire Yang on behalf of Qingyan, you and Yiming wouldn't have been implicated......"

Speaking of this, the old lady gritted her teeth, "Isn't it just a life?" Just their Yang family will die?! Ming'er, my old bones will also be hanged in front of the Yang family! Let's see what else the Queen Mother has to say! ”

"What nonsense!" Xue Chang also knew that her sister didn't understand anything about political affairs, and she didn't usually care, she was just an old lady who was dedicated to spoiling her grandson - although today's situation was caused by her, she didn't have the intention, so she heard her say that she wanted to take her life to block the Yang family's mouth, and hurriedly stopped it, "Then how can a junior in Yang Yi's room compare with your sister?" ”

Old Madam Xue shook her head and said, "Don't persuade me, you just said that Yiming is the key to the prosperity of the Ding family, but I know that if you didn't support you, where would Yiming be where it is today?" You're good, Yiming and they are not afraid that no one will take care of them, I am so old anyway......"

"Sister thinks that since the Queen Mother instructed the Yang family to come to such a show, she will let us get out easily?" Xue Chang sighed, "Don't mention this matter again, I may not have no way to deal with it, you know that the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother have wanted to win over me for more than a day or two, and I have encountered similar persecution before." ”

After sending her away, Xue Chang let out a long sigh, and asked his grandson Xue to come to the shadow: "You pack up your things and go to your eldest aunt's house for a while." ”

Xue Chang's eldest daughter Xue Fangfei married in Gunzhou, thousands of miles away from Beijing.

Xue Rongying couldn't help but be taken aback when she heard this: "What's wrong with the eldest aunt?" ”

"Our family is involved by the Ding family, and the Queen Mother has taken the handle, in case of accidents, you go out first to avoid the limelight." Xue Chang briefly described the beginning and end of Yang Yi's suicide, and explained tiredly, "Anyway, you are only sixteen this year, even if your family is safe and sound, it doesn't matter if you delay it for a few years and come back." ”

"But if our family is really lost, how can the eldest aunt's family be spared?" When Xue Rongying heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, but he didn't approve, "When General Ruan was defeated, who of his sons and grandsons-in-law was not implicated?" Moreover, the grandson has enjoyed his grandfather's fortune for 15 years, and now he knows that his grandfather is in danger, how can he leave instead of sharing his grandfather's worries? ”

Xue Chang said angrily: "If you go away and fly high and still hope to leave a little blood for my Xue family, what's the use of you staying?!" ”

"The Queen Mother is now able to persecute her grandfather, it is nothing more than the Yang family relying on Yang Yimu's death to gain the upper hand in public opinion." Xue Rongying lowered her head and thought for a while, and said, "But the purpose of the Queen Mother is to hope that her grandfather can stand on her side, not to cure her grandfather's crimes!" ”

Seeing that his grandfather ignored him, he was not discouraged, and still talked eloquently, "In this case, why don't we use the queen's side so that the queen mother does not dare to persecute grandfather too much?" ”

Xue Chang sneered: "The way of balance, don't I know? It's just that you think the Jiang family is a good person, and they won't take advantage of the fire to rob? He showed a hint of dullness, "In the past, they tried everything to entrap me, but now I have no choice but to take the initiative to come to the door - where can I stand up in the future?!" ”

He was wise in the battle between the two queens, and held the center for more than ten years, not only was he not excluded from the center, but he was respected and constantly attracted by the Empress Dowager Gu and Empress Jiang - it seems to be beautiful, but it is also strong.

It's just that since he set foot on this road at the beginning, the danger of the Korean dispute, where did he say that he would change his position? Just look at the Yang family's current gray face - if the Yang family did not switch to the Queen Mother's Party, they are generally members of the neutral party, no matter how ignorant Mrs. Xue is, it is impossible for Mrs. Xue to bully the alliance between her younger brother and her son - to be honest, the reason why Mrs. Xue does not want Yang Yiroom to be her granddaughter-in-law, in addition to feeling sorry for her grandson, there is indeed a very important reason that the Yang family betrayed Xue Chang.

In short, Xue Chang, as a courtier, has been impartial between the most noble pair of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law in the world for many years, and he ignored how many courtesies he received in the middle, but now he has to take the initiative to come up - looking for Empress Dowager Gu is to ask for guilt, looking for Empress Jiang is to ask for help, no matter which one it is, it makes Xue Chang feel both aggrieved and ominous.

Xue Rongying narrowed his eyes and said: "Even if the Jiang family takes advantage of the fire to rob, Sun Er thinks that it is better than the Empress Dowager Gu's side - after all, the Empress Dowager Gu now has the handle to cure the sins of the Ding family and our family, so if you choose the Empress Dowager's side, your confidence will become more and more insufficient!" After all, the Yang family is now the queen mother's person. ”

Xue Chang sneered and said, "I can't figure out this truth?" But you may not know that Jiang Tianqiao has been staring at my position for more than a day or two! If I take refuge in the Jiang family, how can I keep this positive position? If you just lose your phase, it's nothing—but I've been in the position of the prime minister for many years, and I can give up the status and prestige of the positive phase to Jiang Tianqiao? Then he will purge my henchmen and install his own cronies—but I have been an official for decades, and my protégés are all over the world, can he replace them all? So what will he do if he wants to replace me? ”

What will be done? Of course, it is either to kill Xue Chang or to stink Xue Chang. No matter which one it is, it's not a good thing for Xue Chang!

Losing his phase and power, life and death are tied to the hands of others - holding power for decades, how could Xue Chang be willing to fall to such a point?

"In short, this time the situation is bound to be particularly serious." Xue Chang sighed and said, "But don't worry too much, your grandfather and I may not be able to survive the ups and downs of the two dynasties." The reason why I asked you to go to your aunt's house and tell you the truth is just in case! ”

Xue Rongying pondered for a while, but still did not comply, but whispered: "Or...... Marriage with the Jiang family? ”

He explained, "Grandfather's position as a positive face cannot be lost at present, if it is not for the power of the Jiang family, it will be difficult for my grandfather to get out of this incident caused by my aunt and grandmother and cousin Qingyan." "After all, it is a fact that the Ding family is sorry for the Yang family, as Ding Hanlin's uncle, Ding Qingyan's uncle, and the default leader of the Neutral Party, Xue Chang can't stay out of the matter in public and private.

"If you want to take advantage of the Jiang family's momentum without losing your phase, why not marry the Jiang family?"

Xue Chang frowned: "What is your idea?" Do you think you will be embarrassed to marry Jiang Tianqiao? The so-called father must have his son, if Jiang Qianchuan hadn't married the daughter of the Tao family as a continuation, how could the Jiang family be prominent today? But as soon as Mrs. Tao's grandfather passed away, the Jiang family immediately grabbed the Tao family's territory in the government and the opposition! Otherwise, how could the Tao family have fallen so quickly! ”

Speaking of this, he sighed, "Old Madam Tao's grandfather is known as the 'Pillar Stone of the Country', when he was there, it was really the Pillar of Da Rui, how could it be that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in power now, and the main lord retreats to the harem?!" If he had left two years late, the former crown prince might not have died unjustly...... That's it, don't talk about this, marriage is useless, and you have to build a younger generation for nothing, why bother? ”

Xue Rongying lowered his head and said, "But what about the fourth room of the Jiang family?" Jiang Tianqiao has always regarded the nephews and nieces in the fourth room as more important than his own flesh and blood! If he marries the four-room Jiang family, Jiang Tianqiao will not be able to attack the four-room Yue family, right? ”

"Jiang Tianchi?" Xue Chang's white eyebrows twitched - of course he knew why Jiang Tianqiao was so good to the children of the Jiang family's fourth room, not because Jiang Yadan particularly hurt him, but because of Jiang Tianchi, the owner of the Jiang family's fourth room, that is, Jiang Tianchi, the second son of Qin Guogong!

The highest representative of the Jiang family in the political circles is Jiang Tianqiao himself, but the biggest reason why Jiang Tianqiao can sit in this position is that he has two uncles who are dedicated to repaying his father's kindness for raising and cultivating and holding heavy troops!

But now that the Duke of Qin is old, he has returned to Beijing to retire and retire; Although the Marquis of Jibei is still sitting in the north, it is actually rare to go into battle, and he will come back in the next two years - the highest representative of the Jiang family in the military circles in the future must be brought into the army by his father and uncle at the age of twelve, and he has been sharpened step by step from the army to the current general Jiang Tianchi of Zhenbei!

Jiang Tianqiao is in the prime of life, and he, the prime minister, wants to continue to do it, or even go further, from vice minister to prime minister - it is inseparable from the echo of the Jiang family's power in the army, in this case, how can Jiang Tianqiao not love Jiang Tianchi's children very much?

In the same way, how could Jiang Tianqiao attack Jiang Tianchi's in-laws? After all, there are still Qin Guogong brothers pressing Jiang Tianchi right now, but in a few years, these two will be gone? Jiang Tianqi has a lot of brothers in this generation, Jiang Tianchi's brother-in-law Jiang Tianqi is now an official and a servant of the military department, and he is no stranger to political affairs, so he may not be able to be a minister!

"There is a successor to my family!" Xue Chang pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Xue Rongying approvingly, and clapped his palm!
