"By giving up my eldest son, I finally completely cut off the hope of your uncles getting involved in the Zhenbei Army!" After a long time, Jiang Tianchi put away his emotions and said lightly, "But this is just to prevent them from snatching away my hard-earned fruits with one sentence like countless times in the past-Zhenbei Army, it wasn't mine at that time!" ”

"In the decades that followed, I pretended not to know anything, and tried my best to learn the way of being a general--thanks to the blessing that I had a good son, your uncle and grandfather were very sympathetic to my 'suffering', although he said that he listened to your imperial grandfather in most things, but since Dan'er was deserted, your uncle and grandfather have obviously favored me!"

"Not only did he teach me without hiding his selfishness, but he even personally stepped in to prevent his only son from joining the army!"

"Of course, what I am most grateful for is that after I showed that I was able to take charge of myself, he immediately sent Shi Shi back to Beijing - what do you say about the old wounds in the body, and the climate in northern Xinjiang is not suitable for recuperation? In fact, when he was a teenager, he followed your imperial grandfather to fight the Hu people in Northern Xinjiang, and the most accustomed climate is Northern Xinjiang! On the contrary, it is Sangzikui County, I haven't been back for many years, but I don't adapt to it! ”

"The real reason is actually that he is afraid that his stay in Northern Xinjiang will be detrimental to my establishment of the authority of General Zhenbei!"

Jiang Tianchi raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and said abruptly, "I originally thought that the matter was almost here." Leaving your brother alone, I got the Zhenbei Army, got a pivotal position in the family, and also had the ability to protect my wife and children, and God gave me a young son, who has a talent that is not inferior to the eldest son, not to mention, because of the experience of the eldest son, you have been well protected and cultivated...... To put it mildly, it's actually a profitable business! ”

"But I didn't expect that when I buried my head in calculating the military power of the Zhenbei Army, the situation in the court was constantly changing!"

"The battle between the two queens is won by our family, but the remnants of the Gu family have always been killed!"

"In the end, Empress Dowager Gu has been regent for more than 30 years, and it is not for nothing!"

"And the royal family of the Chu clan is not thin, and they haven't done anything to anger people and complain about the people's hearts, how can they be willing to be regented by Empress Dowager Gu for more than 30 years, and continue to be influenced by our Jiang family?"

"Although Chu Weisang is not amazing, he is much more competitive than his father! Don't start before he is fledgling and the climate is not successful, will he wait for him to step on the corpses of our Jiang family after accumulating enough capital little by little, and achieve the reputation of the king of Zhongxing? ! ”

Jiang Tianchi sighed desolately, "How can I give him such an opportunity?" ”

"So my father gave up the fourth aunt again?" Jiang Yashuang said coldly, "Although Empress Dowager Gu has been in chaos for more than 30 years, because Xue Xiang is extremely talented in governing the country, Qianrui's national strength has not been greatly damaged because of this, and of course there will be no great resentment towards the royal family - even if there is, it is all blamed on Empress Dowager Gu, and the Chu family is always worthy of sympathy!" If you want the people of the world to recognize Great Qin Dairui, of course, you have to let Emperor Rui do something that everyone is angry about! Otherwise, let alone blocking the mouths of people all over the world, the scene will not be perfunctory! ”

Killing mothers, killing children, and harming sisters - as long as such a crime is made to a normal person, there is no one who does not scold Chu Weisang for being mad! Otherwise, how can you be a fig leaf for the Jiang family to come to power?!

Jiang Yashuang's gaze started from the gray ground under his feet, swept over the nearby ruins, and reached the collapsed palace wall in the distance, the scene when Jiang Tianluan was still alive and the devastation at this moment staggered, and those emotions that had been pent up in his heart for several years seemed to be brewing to the limit, surging and roaring.

But his tone finally became indifferent, "The fourth aunt has been exchanged for the Great Qin Dairui, the ninety-fifth supreme position of my Jiang clan!" So now, what does the father want to exchange for his son? ”

"......" Jiang Tianchi seemed to be a little unable to bear his son's attitude and words, looking under the starlight, the sackcloth on his body seemed to tremble for a moment before he whispered, "What do you think you can change for a father?" ”

Jiang Yashuang lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time.

Jiang Tianchi was also silent for a long time, and Fang continued: "Feng Rugui, it's just one of them!" ”

His words were abrupt, but he knew that Jiang Yashuang could understand it, so he said to himself, "No matter which dynasty or generation, there are actually many people like him." Although he did a bit more shameless, sometimes, this kind of person is really indispensable! When the second queen was in the dispute, he also calculated a lot of strength! ”

"It's not just people like Feng Rugui who don't care about good and evil, good and evil, and only about interests, since your imperial grandfather entered the court and joined the court as an ally of the Empress Dowager Gu, if you want to stand still, you are destined to be too rigid in the rules and act in a ...... of people and things."

Speaking of this, he was silent for a moment, as if thinking about the next wording, "To say that they are also the heroes of my Jiang clan, but this is not a reason for them to rely on their own merits to the point that the people are lawless!" This is tantamount to destroying my Great Qin's foundation! ”

He said lightly, "You see that the Southern Civil Revolution is an example before!" I just made a gesture to elevate your starling brother - to this day, the court has not discussed who will inherit the great treasure between you two brothers in the future, and his old department is so bold that he treats Li Shu like a pig and a dog, and the law of the country as nothing! ”

"How many such people are there in the whole country, between the government and the opposition?" Jiang Tianchi's tone was filled with deep sadness and helplessness, "I have been in Northern Xinjiang for decades, and I can only understand a thing or two about the court and the officials in various places through the spies. But it's shocking enough! ”

"So Xue Chang's death, whether it is your imperial grandfather or me, is really sad!"

"If I can, except for you and Dan'er's family, as well as your mother, I am willing to exchange anyone for him!"

A cold flash flashed in his eyes, "Including, your imperial grandfather!" ”

"What he has done in the past few decades is not easy!"

"If you don't see with your own eyes how unscrupulous and the moths among our family's henchmen and vassals are, and how much they are involved, you must not understand Xue Chang's hardships!"

"On the basis of not angering those bastards, soothe the people, enrich the treasury, and support the successive wars in the northwest, and not lose your integrity...... This is by no means something that ordinary ministers can do. So Xue Chang is a well-deserved name! ”

"It's a pity that for decades, among thousands of officials, there is only one Xue Chang!"

"It's just that his heart is towards the Chu family, even if your imperial grandfather has always been kind to him, he still stands on the Chu family's side!"

"Originally, this matter was not made public, but I or your imperial grandfather were willing to pretend to be this fool - even in order to entrap him, the psychological preparation to treat the Chu family favorably was ready! It's a pity, it's a pity, it's not just us who see the importance of Xue Chang, but others also see this...... Moreover, the time proposed by that person is really fatal: Great Qin is newly built, and the people's hearts are fluctuating, if it is rumored that Xue Chang has actually been loyal to Chu Weisang at this time, and our Jiang family still does not deal with him, not only will it not be able to deter those who have a heart for Qianrui, but it will also make the henchmen who support our Jiang family come to power dissatisfied! ”

Jiang Tianchi choked up, he really regretted Xue Chang's death, "So when you knelt on the Dan Qi and said those words earnestly, did you really not listen to me and your imperial grandfather?" We know, but we can't save him - finally, our family has changed from a minister to a king, avoiding the crisis of being liquidated by the Chu clan in the future! No matter how important Xue Chang is, it is impossible for us to let the Ju clan risk overturning for him! ”

"Now that Xue Chang is gone, no one in this court can take on the heavy responsibility of being dragged back by a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and still be able to ensure that the national strength is not damaged!"

"Your imperial grandfather can't do it, and for my father, I can't do it even more!"

He unabashedly admitted that he was not good at governing the country, "I don't have your seventh uncle and the talent you have with Dan'er!" From childhood to adulthood, I can only be regarded as a middle-aged person in terms of qualifications! If it weren't for the hardships of my brothers, if it weren't for the unwillingness in my heart, in fact, according to my talent and the importance I received at home at the beginning, my life would have been based on my father's shadow...... Being able to take charge of the Zhenbei Army is already the result of me risking my life to fight and learn! ”

"And governing the army and governing the country are two different things!"

"There may be similarities between the two, but they are not something that can be combined with qualifications like mine!"

"So when I forced Emperor Rui to take the throne, I made your imperial grandfather the founder of Great Qin - it's not that I'm afraid of this, it's that I know that I don't know how to govern the country at all! Especially when the new dynasty was established, the most things were done, the famous minister Xue Chang died at this time, looking at the people below who reported all kinds of lawlessness from the dragon's heroes, and after hearing about the Great Qin Dairui, they played the crown and celebrated, thinking that they could do whatever they wanted after following the dragon's merits......"

Jiang Tianchi smiled mockingly, "I've thought about it for a long time and only thought of one word: kill!" ”

In the end, it is a battle-hardened commander, and he said the word "kill" lightly, but the wind of the summer night seemed to be intimidated by him, and he paused for a moment!

"Of course you can't really do that!" Noticing Jiang Yashuang's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, his face softened a little, and he shook his head with a smile, "If you really do this, don't say who will replace them for a while after killing them!" Let's just say that this has not ended well from the dragon heroes, who else will be loyal to my Jiang clan in the future? In that case, the newly-born Great Qin wouldn't have to fall and scatter immediately?! ”

"I originally thought that let your imperial grandfather, as the founding monarch of the country, preside over all daily affairs, on the one hand, let me follow along, on the other hand, I am intense, and he will be on it!"

Jiang Tianchi sighed, "But how old is your imperial grandfather, after he knows my thoughts, he told me clearly that he may not be able to last long!" And most of the heroes from the dragon came out with him, many people, he is better than me! ”

"I've been thinking about it for a long time."

"Finally, I finally came up with a solution!"

"Conglong Gongchen is not easy to move, there is not enough reason, even if they are caught committing crimes, they must be dealt with lightly! They know this very well, so they have nothing to fear! I can't risk the Jiang clan in order to punish them, so I can only settle for the next best thing - find a reason for them to be weighty! ”

Jiang Yashuang smiled bitterly: "For example, compete for the reserve!" ”

"Not bad!" Jiang Tianchi looked at him appreciatively, with some regret in his tone, but more of pride, "It's a pity that although my father's hard work coaxed the ministers as he wished, he couldn't hide it from you!" ”

"Even if the father has done enough drama in front of people, the queen has confessed to King Yongyi and others that he was forced by your uncle and them to abandon his eldest son to protect himself, in exchange for believing that his father really wants to pass on the throne to your starling brother!"

"Even if your daughter-in-law and your subordinates can't bear it anymore - you yourself have never followed your father's hints!"

He said with both loss and relief, "You are really not an obedient child! But it doesn't matter, compared to the son of pure filial piety who obeys his words, what a father prefers to see is that the blue is better than the blue! ”
