"In this way, Qiu Jinglan's idea of fighting the military department Shangshu this time was also ordered by His Majesty?" The staff members were thoughtful, "Then the selection of the secretary of the military department this time depends on the wrestling between the father and son of the heavenly family...... It's a bit tricky! ”

In fact, what the staff really want to say is not tricky but dangerous - involved in the dispute between the father and son of the heavenly family, maybe when they will become cannon fodder!

However, the bowl of the end of the person is controlled by the person, and now Chu Xiao is asking for a plan, and he can't be a staff member without saying a word.

After a little silence in the room, Mr. Wu from before spoke: "The prince and Your Majesty, we can't help it, and don't talk about it." But the most important thing today is the competition between the prince and Qiu Jinglan! ”

"Qiu Jinglan's strength in competing for the position of Shangshu lies in two points: one is that he has experience in leading troops, especially in the Zhenxi Army; The second is that he is now an official and a squire in the military department, and he is a position under Shangshu, and Shangshu is vacant, and he makes up for it, which is quite logical! ”

Mr. Wu said eloquently, looking very confident, "But he also has two flaws: one is that he summoned him from the western Xinjiang to the court last year, not only the prince's meaning, but His Majesty also nodded in this matter, which shows that neither Your Majesty nor the crown prince wants him to have a big influence in the army!" ”

"Since this is the case, then Your Majesty or the Crown Prince is considering that Qiu Jinglan has the back of the Zhenxi Army. In the case of the scene, the most desirable is not due to this back. Jing treats him preferentially, but tries to eliminate his confidence! ”

"So if you think about it carefully, his first strength is actually a flaw!"

"As for the second, let's talk about his age - this person has not yet arrived this year, and when he used to be the general of Zhenxi of Yipin, the reason was to do extraordinary things at extraordinary times. After returning to Beijing to recount his merits, he was first made a marquis, and then he was appointed as a squire in the military department, the reason was military merit! Mr. Wu sneered, "Otherwise, even if he comes from a famous and noble family, how many people seem to have such achievements at his age?" ”

"It's the King of Chongjun in the early years, that is His Majesty's most beloved grandson, and the promotion is not very good, right? Of course, that's because His Majesty wants to lay a good foundation for King Chongjun, and doesn't want him to be promoted too quickly - in short, Qiu Jinglan's reward was only given last autumn, and now he will be promoted again in less than a year, what do other courtiers think?! Even if Your Majesty and the crown prince love their talents, they must think about it, this court does not rely on Qiu Jinglan to do things alone! ”

Mr. Wu concluded, "So, Qiu Jinglan actually doesn't have an advantage!" ”

"Now that the government and the opposition are surging, they all regard the competition between the prince and Qiu Jinglan for the position of the secretary of the military department as a battle between the two county kings of Hui and Chong! The winning side will definitely take the opportunity to rise in momentum! The crown prince is now determined to support King Huijun, and he will never let go of this great opportunity! ”

"And of course, His Majesty's side has a similar idea - the problem is that Qiu Jinglan is young and high, and it is enough to attract jealousy at present, and if he wants to be promoted again, this is almost a killing! Based on the relationship between Qiu Jinglan and King Chongjun, although His Majesty does not want him to sit big in the army, he also hopes that he will assist King Chongjun well in the court. Therefore, I think that His Majesty may not be very supportive of Qiu Jinglan to seek the position of secretary of the Ministry of War! ”

The other staff members muttered: "Then if you say this, the prince ......"

"But don't forget!" Mr. Wu said, "Qiu Jinglan is young, and among the people who Your Majesty can support to seek the secretary of the military department, Qiu Jinglan is not the only one!" ”

The person whose brain turned a little faster suddenly thought of a person, and his face suddenly became difficult to look at - sure enough, Mr. Wu said slowly: "Min Guogong! He is the prince's confidant and left and right arm for many years, knows the army and is good at fighting, and in terms of seniority and ability, he is the best candidate to take care of the military department! Although this prince is not familiar with King Chongjun, his only son Ou Bicheng is the right and left arm of King Chongjun! If it weren't for Ou Bicheng's collapse after being widowed, let him worry about it to this day, King Shou might not have served as the secretary of the military department in the first place! ”

"That's not necessarily - although the Duke of Min Guo has been the prince's confidant for many years, he is extremely powerful in the Zhenxi army, and the prince deliberately brought him when he returned to Beijing, I am afraid that it may not be all grace, but also worried that he is not in the army, and they can't suppress the Ou family when they respect the king of the county!" Someone retorted, "Now he only has a name in the household department, and he doesn't do anything serious at all, but he really just wants to enjoy Qingfu, but has to enjoy Qingfu?" After all, with the time he has been following the prince, he shouldn't be idle now! ”

"You're talking about the prince's worries, but Your Majesty's thoughts may not be the same! After all, when it comes to the future of King Chongjun, it is impossible for His Majesty to do nothing, right? In that case, the prince should have asked the prince to take office as the secretary of the military department! ”

"If you want to talk about the power and foundation in the army, no matter how you look at it, Min Guogong is even more above Qiu Jinglan! Although the dispute between the two county kings is important, in the eyes of His Majesty and the crown prince, it shouldn't be the most important, right? ”

This person's words are vague, but everyone in the room can understand it: the Jiang family itself is relying on military power to successfully usurp the throne, can you not guard against others after they get the military power? Therefore, Qiu Jinglan was recalled to Beijing immediately after winning the battle, and the contemporary head of the Ou family, whose prestige and status in the Zhenxi Army was only second only to Jiang Tianchi, was no exception!

This is a matter of principle that belongs to the Jiang family, and in front of it, other issues can stand aside for the time being!

Even if it's a candidate for the grandson - after all, if the Great Qin is gone, is there still a grandson?

"That being said, after all, the Duke of Min Guo is also a possible candidate for the secretary of the military department, after all, who can guess what His Majesty means? If you're prepared, you won't be caught off guard in the future, right? ”

…… In the end, there were several crooked buildings in the middle, and finally the advice given to Chu Xiao by the staff was: "Hit Qiu Jinglan with one hand; Single-handedly guard against the Duke of Minguo. Grab with both hands, and be hard with both hands! ”

Coincidentally, in Lu He's courtyard, Jiang Yashuang's henchmen also summed up the next task: "First kill the uninteresting pioneer of King Yongyi, and then find a way to kill Jiang Yadan, a stumbling block!" In short, King Chongjun must ascend the throne, and our future must be bright! ”

It's just that both sides rolled up their sleeves and were ready to cut off, but Emperor Zhaode's father and son seemed to have forgotten the vacancy of the military department, and one took his great-grandson in Funing Palace while changing his son; One assists his father in handling state affairs, and often goes to the Beique Palace to continue to brush the filial piety archway......

The two of them are not in a hurry, but the people below are in a hurry-not to mention the two people who have completed the preparations, let's just say that those temporary neutral parties who have not yet invested in the command of King Huijun or King Chongjun regard this battle for Shangshu as the next . Note the wind direction war, but this wind direction battle has not been fought! How do they choose?!

Endure it, endure it, endure it for nearly ten days, and finally have an acute. The courtiers couldn't hold back, and the above table reminded the candidates for the new Shangshu of the Ministry of War...... Isn't it time to discuss?

"What's the hurry? There are still squires in the military department, and it's not that no one is working. Emperor Zhaode disagreed, "What's more, there is no war in the country now, and the military department is also very idle!" This will immediately get a book and go up, just eat and not work, it's interesting? Wait! ”

The prince also said: "Now that the queen mother is seriously ill, this kind of matter is not urgent, and it is not too late to discuss it in a few days!" ”

The two family members have expressed their attitudes and will not make up for the time being - although the minister on the table touched his nose, the others also felt that they were being teased: "The wind direction war has not started, our attitude is ...... To watch or not to watch? If the bet is right, it will be repaid, in case the bet is wrong...... "This is a major event involving the life of the whole family!"

I want to cry without tears, "If you don't bet on it, you can save your mind, but what if you are hated by the one who wins in the future?!" ”

Especially those who are now in a high position, they finally fought their way to the peak among the founding fathers of the new dynasty, if they were trampled on again because of the dispute between the grandsons and grandchildren, how could they be willing? !

For a while, the entire government and the opposition were entangled to death - the news that Princess Gui fell ill at this time, of course, the previous dynasty was not interested at all!

Not only in the previous dynasty, but when Guo Baolin died and Queen Tao was seriously ill, the crown princess learned that He's was ill, and she only said lightly: "The hospital of the Tai Hospital has judged the diagnosis and treatment of the student, and the third sister-in-law must recover as soon as possible!" "Then continue to see Queen Tao's vein case.

It's not that the crown princess doesn't care about He's life or death, but she thinks that He's is only occasionally infected, and it's not a big problem - after all, it's warm and cold during this time, even if there are many people who serve Queen Tao, everyone only takes their turn every ten days and half a month, but it's not surprising that the pampered lady is a little older and squeamish.

So the crown princess still thought: "By the next round of illness, if the queen mother has not recovered, then the He family will definitely be fine." ”

…… She was still optimistic, and she didn't plan to get rid of the He family in the next round of illness, Qiu Yulan heard the news, her heart moved, and she suddenly remembered what happened back then: "I don't know if the box of sleep incense has been used up?" ”

She didn't have any sympathy for people like He's, and she didn't think about reporting Heshuijin, so she didn't plan to mix with Sanfang's grievances many years ago. However, it happened that it was not her turn to serve the sick in the past two days, and her aunt was sick, and since she was free, she couldn't go to the house to visit.

When I arrived at King Gui's Mansion - the predecessor of King Gui's Mansion was Qianrui's Yanwang Mansion, after Jiang Yashuang abandoned the election, it was Jiang Tianqi's turn to pick, and he picked here.

The haggard and Shui Jin greeted her at the second gate, and after the two of them saw the courtesy, they said some embarrassing greetings, and Qiu Yulan asked tentatively: "How is the third aunt now?" ”

"The doctor hasn't come to a conclusion yet, I don't understand medical science, and I can't say it well." He Shuijin replied very vaguely, "Now it's just a matter of being careful...... Alas, but I hope my mother will get better soon! ”

It's okay that she didn't mention the doctor, but when she mentioned the doctor, Qiu Yulan suddenly remembered: "After my grandfather was poisoned by the sleeping incense, the doctor introduced by the nineteenth came out with a handful of pulses!" I just didn't dare to say it! ”

Now it's not as good as before, whether the Gu family's mother and son are in the right position or not, for the Jiang family, it's not right! This just shows that we accept Zen to avenge the poor waste prince of Dezong! Anyway, before Qiu Feng's life story was revealed, there was only one surviving heir of the abolished prince, the king of Qiyang County-this dynasty was renamed the king of Shunyi County-that is a well-known mentally retarded child, how many people will support returning the throne to him?!

Therefore, as long as he understands the poison of the sleeping incense, it should not be difficult to find out, and he should not use it.

"Is it really sick?" Qiu Yulan thought so, and walked into the courtyard where the He family was placed - it happened that the Zhang family came over with medicine from the small kitchen, and when he saw Qiu Yulan, he nodded: "The nineteenth brother and sister are here?" ”

Qiu Yulan said hello, and entered the house with the two sisters-in-law, and saw that after the heavy curtains, he was lying facing the wall, his henchman-in-law, the two maids were guarding the side, and Aunt Chi - oh, it's time to call Concubine Chi, rubbing the handkerchief uneasily, and sitting down in a daze.

Seeing her come in, these people's faces were a little stiff: "Princess Chongjun is here?" "The attitude is clearly exclusionary and unwelcoming.

"How is the third aunt?" Qiu Lulan squinted slightly, then resumed her impassivity, her eyes inadvertently slid over the bowl of medicine in Zhang's hand, and Wen Yan asked, "The sixth sister-in-law is not here?" ”

"The sixth sister-in-law kept watch all night last night!" He Shuijin sighed, "I was afraid that she would be too tired, so I persuaded her to go back to rest." ”

The answer was impeccable, but--Qiu Lulan looked at the medicine bowl again, and said meaningfully: "Let the third aunt drink the medicine first, so as not to delay the medicine after a while!" ”
