Chapter 34: What if
"My father has always respected my uncle, and he treats him like a brother and a father!" Jiang Tianqi wiped his cold sweat, and couldn't hide the anxiety and fear in his tone, "This news must not be told that he knows that it is certain." It's just that now that the adult male heirs are serving in front of their father, and the uncle has passed away, we can't just send stewards or guards to Kuixian, what can we do? ”
No wonder Jiang Tianqi is so out of shape - although Qin Guogong's condition has stabilized, he is still lying on the couch, and the most important thing is that the successive bad news of his brothers has made him lose the heart to continue living. Otherwise, I wouldn't have pulled Mrs. Tao to say those heartfelt words before.
In this situation, if you know that the Kui County man is dead, the last thought in Qin Guogong's heart is gone, and he may also go west!
The hall was silent for a long time, and Jiang Tianqi's eyes looked at the fourth room: "Brother and sister, only for now, only Nineteen has a reason to leave, so he said that he would go to the fourth brother's side - if someone else went to Kui County to mourn, there was no suitable reason to coax my father." When the time comes, my father can't stand the stimulation, and the family is ......."
Mrs. Zhuang's face was ugly: "Before the war in Northern Xinjiang, my husband had a lot of free time, so he would shout nineteen to give directions; When the war broke out in northern Xinjiang, the nineteenth could also see it. Both times, the husband said that he would let Nineteen follow his father and sharpen it again, which is also what his father knows. Now this is not embarrassing, suddenly called Nineteen to go to the north, although the problem of Nineteen can not continue to serve the disease has been solved, but will my father ask about the war situation in Northern Xinjiang again, worried about what will happen in Northern Xinjiang? ”
"......" Jiang Tianqi stiffened his face and remained silent.
He knew that Mrs. Zhuang said this for the sake of Qin Guogong at all, and in the final analysis, she didn't want Jiang Yashuang to return to Kui County to mourn on behalf of Qin Guogong.
After all, the backbone of the fourth room in the capital is Jiang Yashuang, he is leaving, and it is enough to turn around Qin Guogong to hold on, but he can't hold on, the third room takes the opportunity to calculate the fourth room, what should I do if I call the fourth room?
But what Mrs. Zhuang said was also reasonable, Jiang Tianqi couldn't refute it, his heart was irritable, and he said in a humming voice: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so why don't we send people when the uncle dies?" What a system this becomes! ”
"If you really can't do it, you will send juniors?" Old Madam Tao finally spoke, "Jun'er and Huai'er are also ten years old, and Heng'er is older, but it's just ...... It wasn't quite appropriate for him to go. ”
There was silence again......
The great-grandson of Qin Guogong, the eldest son of Jiang Yaqing, is the longest, but because of his anger with his father. Kill; followed by Jiang Yadan's eldest son, Jiang Jinghu, who fell into the water and died; The third is Jiang Yadan's second son, Jiang Jingheng, this child is now so autistic that he is really not suitable to let him out.
Further down, it was Jiang Yayi's eldest son, Jiang Jingjun, and Jiang Yaqing's second son, Jiang Jinghuai.
The two great-grandchildren are now eleven and ten years old, respectively. This will be half a big deal, and he is also qualified to attend some occasions on behalf of adults, but - Zhang said cautiously: "It is said that such a big event, grandmother asked Jun'er to go, it was to promote him." But Jun'er has always been spoiled by her granddaughter-in-law. The child is very jumpy. Granddaughter-in-law is a little worried that he will lose the face of our team. ”
A child who is only 11 years old has to travel thousands of miles, where can I rest assured that I am a mother?
However, since Mrs. Tao made this suggestion, she naturally thought about it: "The children and grandchildren in our room can't leave, but over there in the Hou Mansion, your thirteenth brother should be able to go." With him with him, it doesn't hurt to think! ”
Zhang was helpless, glanced at Shi, and saw that her expressionless face did not mean to refuse for her concubine Jiang Jinghuai, she sighed in her heart, and only said: "It's still grandmother who is thoughtful!" ”
Jiang Tianqi looked at the fourth room and the eighth room and sighed, these two rooms looked like someone had gone, obviously planning to take the two children in the big room as his representatives.
At this time, it was also dawn, and Mrs. Tao told Shi and Zhang to quickly pack up the children's things, and sent someone to the Hou Mansion to discuss, so that the uncle over there would take his nephew on the road together...... After he was done, he had to rush to Qin Guogong, for fear that he would be suspicious if he was late.
Jiang Yashuang's illness was scheduled for the night today, and Mrs. Zhuang persuaded him to go back to the room and sleep again, so as not to lose energy at night.
"Nineteen, come with me, go to my room, and our uncle and nephew will talk about it!" Jiang Tianqi stopped the fourth room.
Mrs. Zhuang frowned: "I still have to serve my father at night, will I not make up for sleep, I can't play hard at night, what should I do if I miss my father's call?" "The revenge of killing the son is there, and now the fourth room is only the best for Jiang Yashuang's son, and Mrs. Zhuang is not at ease with the third room - who knows if they won't be able to think about it, and they will burn the jade?
"Didn't he already sleep all night?" Jiang Tianqi didn't look at her, and looked at his youngest nephew with complicated eyes, "What's more, it doesn't necessarily take us a whole day to talk." ”
"Mother rest assured, my uncle will also serve my grandfather later." Jiang Yashuang thought for a while, but agreed, and Wen Yan persuaded Mrs. Zhuang, "I think it was the bad news of my uncle and grandfather that I came, and my uncle thought that the child was young, and I wanted to tell a few words, so as not to show my stuffing in front of my grandfather!" ”
Mrs. Zhuang was still not at ease, but she couldn't stand Jiang Yashuang and had already followed Jiang Tianqi, bit her lip, and said to the left and right: "Count Chenguang, if you don't go back to the fourth room in half an hour...... Go out and shout at our people! ”
But she was worried in vain, although Sanfang gritted her teeth with hatred for Sifang, she didn't prepare any traps waiting for Jiang Yashuang this time - of course, if she hadn't guessed this, Jiang Yashuang would not have come over with Jiang Tianqi.
"Right now, it's just the two of us, and I won't go around in circles with you!" It will be Jiang Yayi and Jiang Ya Dan who will be the turn to serve Qin Guogong. Jiang Tianqi also had his youngest son Jiang Yaheng in front of him, but Jiang Tianqi even sent him down, and said to his nephew directly, "Your ancestors have a total of three people, and now there are two of them!" Your grandfather was in the middle, and now he is couch down, and there is no room for a little excitement! Although everyone who is a descendant hopes that their parents can live a long life, ......"
After the introduction was finished, his tone became heavy, "In this situation, we can't help but think about what if!" ”
Jiang Yashuang knew what he was going to say, and he didn't reveal it, so he bowed slightly: "Please also ask my uncle to teach me!" ”
"If your grandfather has three longs and two shorts, your eighth uncle and I will definitely have to go back to our hometown to worry." Jiang Tianqi said very bluntly, "People are righteous, there is nothing to talk about!" Among your grandfather's heirs, your father probably has the possibility of winning love! ”
After all, the war is raging in northern Xinjiang, and although personal filial piety is important, the righteous name of serving the country and the people is also not light.
But Jiang Tianqi and Jiang Tianxiao don't have this kind of good fate, although the two of them are now powerful, they are not very important to the court and the society, whether the court is good or the world, they will still operate without them!
So they have no reason to win love, and if they forcibly take love, it is equivalent to sending a handle to Sifang, and there will be more opportunities to be counted in the future.
"I won't talk about the grievances in the past here, everyone knows it." Jiang Tianqi stroked his short beard under his chin and said lightly, "So if you take my next words as alarmist, I don't blame you, I didn't say it!" ”
"The big house and my third room have been operating in the court for many years, although I am not angry with your uncle, not only can I not defeat Xue Chang when I join forces in the two of them, but I am even put on a few ways by your four rooms, resulting in defeat after defeat. However, even Xue Chang, who can now be called the elder of the Three Dynasties, does not dare to say that mediating with us is a matter of worry-free and effort-saving! ”
"The forces in this capital, your four rooms are far worse than our two rooms - even if Xiaoba marries the lord of Lihui County as a continuation, it is useless to win over the king of Huainan. Although King Huainan is skillful, in his early years, in order not to attract the eyes of the Empress Dowager Gu, he has always been a loner, and he will start to form factions again, just like the Xin family today, with a late start and a shallow foundation. It's okay to deal with ordinary people, but it's still far from fighting with Xue Chang's old foxes! ”
"Of course, the big house is worried about our three rooms, but the people under us don't need to worry about it, they can still be officials in the court. However, not to mention that your grandfather is gone, we have returned to Kui County to keep filial piety, will these people still be loyal to us, just say Xue Chang and others, I and your uncle were not his opponents when we were there, not to mention that we are not here? ”
Jiang Tianqi stared at Jiang Yashuang tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Although your grandfather has always treated Xue Chang well, he has always been known as a loyal monarch!" His Majesty was the most talented and learned prince under the knee of the first emperor, even though he has always been very interesting, but he is really willing to be so knowledgeable all his life? Oh, one more sentence to mention King Huainan, in terms of bloodline, he is His Majesty's own uncle, blood is thicker than water, in-law and nephew, what do you think he will choose? ”
Having said this, Jiang Tianqi's meaning is already obvious - Sifang does not have a force that can be completely trusted in the court, or in other words, there are not enough forces in the court that can be trusted.
Whether it is Xue Chang or King Huainan, they are now standing on the side of the fourth room, and there is a very important reason, that is, they either hinder the eyes of the Jiang family's big house and the third room, or they just want to snatch the cake from the Jiang family's big house and the third room.
Without the support of the fourth room, Xue Chang's side will be defeated, so they will also escort the fourth room at the moment.
The relationship between this interest is very strong and fragile - for example, at present, the Kui County man has been confirmed to be deceased, and the Jiang family is already on his way back to his hometown; Qin Guogong lingered on the sickbed, if he couldn't hold on, the third room would have to pack up his things and leave from the court!
After losing the domination of the big room and the third room, Xue Chang and King Huainan didn't need the fourth room so much, and they could discuss how to divide the cake by themselves.
Of course, Sifang is still strong in the military, but so what? Back then, Qin Guogong played the title of "Dry City of the Country", and his reputation in the army was much louder than the current Jiang Tianchi! Don't you need to find a way to please Tao Yinsong and Yuan Pei as soon as they die, they will quickly propose to the Tao family? !
The imperial court dares to set up generals in the north and west of the town, and it has its own way to restrain them!
The simplest threat, baggage.
The bitter cold frontier can't afford to raise a huge border army at all, as long as the imperial court uses its hands and feet on it, no matter how fierce the commander is, he can only bow his head!
Even if there is a war going on in the west and north now, and the imperial court does not dare to take risks, can the war continue to be fought? Raising a thief with self-respect? These old foxes in the imperial court are not fools, and if the war situation drags on, they will consider negotiating peace!
They don't need to worry about the alien race not agreeing, after all, whether it is Xiban or Beihu, the population is less than Da Rui, and the wealth is far less than Da Rui, and to be honest, they can't afford it!
When the time comes, find a nice excuse to give a favor, and then reveal that our prime ministers have long been unpleasant to look at these generals, and it is difficult to clean up after being at war with you before...... The alien race is not a fool, how can there be no reason not to be happy to see the infighting among the people of the Central Plains Dynasty!
That is to say, after the death of Qin Guogong, if the Jiang family continues to fight, there is a chance that eight times out of ten. Nine will be beaten back to the time when it just rose, always worried about the fate of the bird's bow hidden, maybe one is not careful, and the Hezu is at risk!
Jiang Tianqi raised his hand: "So you give me the right word, in case your grandfather ...... Do you believe me, or do you take advantage of the situation and step on us to complete your room?! ”
